Thank you to Kassidy Starr Smith of Marly Ray for providing me with product in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions shared are my own.

Pearls capture simplicity and beauty like nothing else can. I have always been captivated by how lovely they are! Even after selling fine jewelry for many years, they continue to be a personal favorite. I always have my eye out for the next piece of pearl jewelry to add to my collection.

Black pearls are a personal favorite

I was intrigued when I got the opportunity to work with Kassidy, online pearl-opening parties were a new concept to me. I couldn't wait to check it out! She had just finished a live stream on Facebook when I learned of our collaboration, so I got the chance to preview her presentation.

Kassidy in action

Kassidy has the most wonderful and magnetic personality, she really makes the Marly Ray experience special. While watching her Pearl Diving parties, you feel like you're having fun with a group of friends. You find yourself routing for everyone to get the colors they hope for and excited to see if one of your new pals will get twins (every oyster is guaranteed to have one pearl, but some have two).

The surprise is so fun

Throughout the month, Kassidy hosts special events where portions of proceeds go to charity, and special trivia nights. You can also host a private pearl party for you and your friends. Once you attend one party, you're going to be addicted!

My oyster had a light pink pearl inside. I chose a key necklace with a cage setting with 18" figaro chain. I was really excited to see it in person, and it didn't disappoint at all. It's exquisite!

My new necklace is here!

Pretty in pink

Cage setting keeps your pearl safe and allows you to switch to others in your collection

Pearls are perfect for every occasion

I love my beautiful Marly Ray necklace! The key pendant makes it simply stylish, perfect for everyday wear. Both my daughters have taken a liking to it too, my 4 year old asks daily if she can have it when she's older and my younger daughter enjoys rubbing it while she's nursing. She can be pretty rough sometimes, so I was worried about it breaking. The sterling silver chain has held up to a lot of abuse.

What a lovely collection of pearls!!! The best thing that I feel about this neck piece is that the pearls can be easily replaceable. So one can use this with any color dress. Even the koa wood pendants are so elegant and they can also go with all kind of dresses which makes it a worth buy product.
